Cribyoo - Sport Outdoor Travels is a tour operator specialized in outdoor sports tourism experiences and trips. We mainly focus on inbound tourism in Italy with foreign customers, but we have also opened up some trips abroad for Italian clients.
The founder and CEO of the tour operator is Cristina Puppo, hiking guide, kayak instructor, and snorkeling guide, who, based on her direct experience in guiding, creates experiences and trips from the customer's perspective.
Here's how Cristina introduces herself...
I'm Cristina Puppo, a hiking guide, traveler, and sports enthusiast.
Being a true Ligurian, I'm torn between the sea and the mountains. I prefer wild, as untouched as possible, nature. I seize every opportunity to explore it slowly, whether in nearby places or around the world, practicing my favorite sports and activities... hiking or skiing when there's snow, climbing and mountaineering, kayaking or sailing when at sea, exploring depths by snorkeling or diving. The encounters along the way make the experience even more interesting, wherever I go! Whether it's about signs left millennia ago or meeting a farmer who insists on letting you taste his wine.
I have a degree in Forestry and Environmental Sciences, chosen precisely because I've always wanted nature to be my proper office.
Initially, I dreamed of the beautiful forests of Northern Europe. I boarded the wrong plane and ended up in Mali. In Africa, I lived for about 7 years managing environmental humanitarian projects for small NGOs. In total, I have worked in this sector for about twenty years, the last of which I started accompanying groups as a hiking guide, an activity that gradually took up more space.
I lived for a few years between Italy and France. In Grenoble, I earned a Master's degree in Economic Strategies of Sport and Tourism, which gave me the knowledge and skills, but above all the right enthusiasm to open the tour operator. Subsequently, I worked for some French trekking agencies and then in Ailefroide at the Ecrins guides' office. I became a technical director of a travel agency, an essential qualification to open and professionally manage the tour operator.
Currently, I live in a farmhouse in the Savonese hinterland, Cascina Fogona (take a look here). I manage the agritourism immersed in nature, also giving it a sporty twist, with hospitality based on the needs of those who come to hike, bike or run in our woods.
